Once significant in wine production, the Upper Pannon region has declined in prominence. Its cool climate and Danube River location facilitated early development, with a rich cultural and winemaking heritage dating back to Roman times. Renowned for high-acidity white wines, it's minimally affected by global warming. Wines are transitioning to fuller-bodied profiles, with expanding sparkling wine production and exploration of Pinot Noir potential. Spanning varied hills and soils, it cultivates grapes across 5,500 hectares, from Kékfrankos to Chardonnay.
